As an SA who is probably returning full-time, I would love for CS to match but am not sure the firm can afford it right now. Still pretty happy about this bump to 100k though

 

would be nice to get confirmation soon considering we officially start next week

 

Low key why does everyone shit on CS in the other threads on here. 
 

it’s like all the Barclays UBS DB guys have been waiting to exploit this moment to boost their relative status. You can literally say something objectively and verifiably true and you’ll get “inaccurate” MS. 
 

im personally super happy being at CS, granted I want to go to PE within a year and don’t think any of this shit will affect that. 

 

I second this. I’m also at CS and feel like the media is generally much more concerned about the future of the firm than people within the firm: whereas the media makes it seem like the firm is imploding- and to be fair some groups have lost some key seniors- people still at CS still support the firm and think it’ll remain where it has historically been on the league tables.

 

Agreed. Morale in my group is pretty strong. We lost a few non-critical MDs in our weaker industry sub verticals and lost a fair amount at VP level but all the key heads are still around. 
 

analysts and associates have been very busy and working beyond their traditional scope with a leaner mid-level but all have said it’s been a great experience to get solid reps and a learn a ton. 
 

at the end of the day CS really really relies on sponsors and lev fin to bring in business and the firm’s done very well at talent retention there. 
 

for 2 years, I’m not worried at all. Worst case I can have an expanded analyst role (since fewer VPs) on a surplus of mandates from LTM - not a bad deal
